Chapter 32


    Chapter 32 Publicity Crisis


    Cyril wasn’t foolish. He knew clearly that with things having escted to this degree, Karen must be


    involved somehow. If she wasn’t, Sylvia would never say things like that.


    He felt utterly exhausted in this moment. Between his sister and Karen, the two kept causing all


    kinds of unpredictable trouble for him. It was giving him a pounding headache. Things were not


    supposed to spiral out of control like this.


    He had to get to the bottom of what exactly happened over the course of his marriage to Sylvia.


    Whether it was his sister, Karen, or even his mother Michelle, what roles did they y?


    As for Sylvia, after finishing up with the reporters she headed straight into the office building. The


    moment she stepped inside, she noticed her coworkers giving her strange


    looks.


    She didn’t even need to guess – they must have heard about this morning’s fiasco. With the


    reporters camped outside the doors all morning, of course word spread about her inside.


    Unexpectedly, her identity was now exposed to them all.


    “There you are! Do you know what’s been happening? People are gossiping about you. Saying it’s


    suspicious you still have a job here after your divorce,” Juliet said, grabbing Sylvia’s arm and pulling


    her to the break room.


    “They’re even suggesting you must have an inappropriate rtionship with your ex- husband.


    Otherwise how could you still be working at his family’spany?”


    Sylvia couldn’t help butugh after hearing Juliet’s update. “I figured they’d talk behind my back. But


    I didn’t realize they’de up with such interesting theories. Anyway, what are you doing here?”


    At that question, Juliet’s smile also faded. She snorted in irritation. “What do think?


    you Since you went back to inherit the family business, my dad doesn’t want me fooling around


    anymore. He’s making me join thepany too to ‘learn‘.”


    “I don’t know anything though! So he arranged for me to intern with you. He secretly met with your


    brother a few days ago and settled it all. Then he informed me this morning and sent me straight


    here.”


    Sylvia saw this as a perfect opportunity. “That works out great! You can stay by my side and learn a


    lot. With me around, there will be less pressure than if you were under my brother.

    Don’t worry, you’re the only sessor for your family’spany anyway.”


    Juliet understood that reasoning all too well. “I know, I know. So here I am, obediently showing up.


    For this period I’ll be your assistant, learning along the way.

    “Oh right, when I saw your brother earlier he said to send you straight to the conference room when


    you arrive. We better hurry, it’s almost time.”


    ncing at her watch, Juliet grabbed Sylvia’s hand and rushed them up to the meeting. The two


    girls slipped in just in time, with Sylvia entirely unaware there was even a scheduled morning


    meeting.


    “Causing such a major publicity crisis for thepany, yet sauntering inte. You two really are


    something else. Especially you, Sylvia. Do you not take this seriously at all?” The words came from


    Ingrid, an employee seated below Bruce.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Ingrid was also apany shareholder who harbored an intense crush on Bruce. Sylvia knew


    about it even before her own marriage. Ingrid adored Bruce and therefore refused to ept Sylvia


    staying by his side through illegitimate means.


    In her view, Bruce deserved someone better. She wouldn’t stand to see him snatched away. Ingrid


    would even privately try to sabotage Bruce and Sylvia’s rtionship.


    To Ingrid, Bruce was the one who should be inheriting thepany, not Sylvia. If Ingrid wasn’t a


    shareholder, Bruce wouldn’t spare her a second nce. Dealing with her endless pestering over the


    years had brought Bruce endless headaches.


    “Did I cause any publicity crisis for thepany? All they know is that I work here. But as far as I


    can tell, no damaging connections to thepany were leaked online. If that counts as a publicity


    crisis, I may need to relearn the definition,” Sylvia smoothly retorted.


    “If I remember correctly, it was you who created a huge scandal three years ago which embarrassed


    thepany and cost us nearly 30 million dors in damages. Have you paid that money back


    yet?”


    Sylvia would not back down to this woman’s needling. Her every intentiontely has been to


    cause trouble.


    Ingrid instantly froze up at those sharp words, her expression growing stormy as she glowered at


    Sylvia. No one expected she would know so manypany secrets. Clearly Sylvia had an


    unusually close bond with Bruce.


    Seeing his little sister effortlessly prevail, Bruce also rxed. He wasn’t worried either, fully aware


    that current public opinion was on Sylvia’s side.
